Dropkick Murphys with a little help from Shane Macgowan of The Pogues.

Friday... a new weekend coming up. No Pogues this weekend. Maybe I'll go visit the Bear and Boy. Probably not.

Maybe it's the weekend to take that long hike to Eagle Creek and back. Be a busy bee and do housework? If the weather holds nice, I could do the last of the yard work until spring. Sure won't be mowing anytime soon.

I will be getting to see some of my friends tomorrow, but as with everything else I lack money, so I probably will not get to do as much as I would like.

Today I will work on some knitting and probably make a video or two. It is good to be knitting again, but that isn't going as well as I would like, cause I don't have the proper tools, and I don't have any money to order replacements. I am trying to make do with similar things designed for other machines and such. It isn't quite right, but as the Christmas party is now about two months away, I can't put off these projects any longer on the hope that I will find the tools or be able to buy replacements.

Staying busy is a good idea. The hike sounds like more fun than the yard work, at least to me.

Mr. Cube will be playing golf on Saturday so that frees me up to have a quiet of puttering around the house.

Sunday, I won't be so lucky. We will be traveling about 2 hours each way to see my in-laws who are down from Cape Cod. Don't get me wrong, I could do much worse in the in laws department. It's just that the men & boy go play golf (i.e., have fun) while the girls have to fend for themselves and it's usually kind of boring. Lots of small talk about the few things we have in common. I can only hope I can catch a part of the Bucs game at some point *sigh*

I'm sorry you're feeling sad. My cure is always comfort and escapism. In whatever form that takes. Sometimes it's fun to go out and have guys hit on you. Even if you don't want them, it's nice to have the attention...

Churlita-- I used to do that but it was bad for my body due to the unhealthy methods I opted on. Now I try and do the same with opposite methods... which is why I think I'm going for that long hike. As long as I am moving and my MP3 is plugged into my head... I'm where my mind is happy. Its when I am still and silence rules that I get down.

billy pilgrim-- I am not sure that I like myself very much right now. I get this way and then I beat the tar out of my psyche for a bit, then when I get pissed off enough, I make positive changes.

I wish from the depth of my soul that I could embrace the calm. There is nothing calm in my head. Chaos rules. But you may be right... maybe that's why I am so unhappy at times. I will give it an honest try... when I do that hike at the half way point, I'll lay in the ferns and try to let my mind go quiet while I rest. I'll let you know how that goes. Thanks for the advice.

Cube-- Ack! I missed you. Ooohhh... stuck with aliens. Well, maybe it won't be so bad. I too didn't have much in common with my aliends. Damn. I'll think happy thoughts for you... hope you get to catch some of the game.

dude, speaking of random acts of depressing, my dog ran into a tree b/c he was so focused on chasing his ball he didn't see the tree. We were very worried, thought he might have seriously injured his eye, the skin was ripped off in that area. Fortunately it wasn't a deep wound, we brought him to the vet and he is ok. What a silly guy, he gets so excited with his ball he doesn't pay attention to anything else!

Of course we do have both craigslist and freecycle here, but I have trouble finding someone selling the right tools, so I doubt that I will be finding anyone giving away the right equipment. Still, when it get dull around here, I look anyway. I'm currently bidding on an ebay thing, but I have serious limits on what I can spend, and even then I wouldn't get the tools for another couple of weeks.
